Proven logistics expertise has compelling impact on key KPIs

Uninterrupted supply chain operations are more closely linked to a company's overall financial performance than any other operational factor.1 And recent research out of MIT reports that uninterrupted supply chain operations were more sensitive to skill set and expertise factors than any of the other big factors, such as commodity pricing or the cost of energy and oil.2

Having mature supply chain logistics capabilities in place to avoid or manage supply chain interruptions has compelling impacts on key operating performance indicators, such as:2

Total supply chain lead-time variability

Total cost

Order fulfillment lead time

Inventory turns

Supply chain assets utilization

Total supply chain lead-time

Customer service level or fill-rate
